benhogan 05-30-2012 08:44 AM

are there any registration or inspection issues if it is a euro model?

heck i might buy it. according to him, all it needs is a throwout bearing.

Worth a look. Probably a carb engine. Going to be tough to find parts.

Was a carb engine. Back then they were what they designated on the 123s.
Gas motors consisted of 200, 230, 230E, 250, 280, 280E..only the 200 was available in the later years in carb form if memory serves. Of course add a T to make them wagons, not sure if I recall a 230T though, I know a friend had a 250T, think there was a 280T, but not 100% certain. All were at one time sedans, don't think the 200 ever was put into a 123 coupe either...
Actually might still have some early 80s german brochures for the 123s to go rummage through...:P

This is likely the same car thats been for sale for over 2 years. I believe the Seller owns/manages a Pizza restaurant close to NCSU...I spoke w/him about the wagon back in 2010-2011, had all the info on it , .....just wondering why it never sold !!

Neat car. I wonder how a 4 cylinder engine would do in one of these heavy beasts. The only "drawback" I see is that gawd-awful blue interior. I passed on a couple really nice cars simply because that blue interior makes me want to barf.

The 230T (with M115 engine) was produced for two years. Total production 6,884. The 200T (with M102 engine) was produced from 1980 to January 1986, total production 18,860. Also possible were the 250T, 230TE (M102 engine) and 280TE.

I see the 230E, and the 280E show up in the yards from time to time. there was a 280TD in one of the Portland yards a few weeks back. are the Carbs changeable between the models?

Talk about old skool, four-cylinder with a carb.

I seem to remember reading that the 200T models didn't come with SLS as standard.

I don't think they came with much at all as standard.

There's a great guy over on BW with 200T as his user name.

Loads of 200Ts were sent to the UK - they were quite a common sight when I was going to school.

Govert 05-30-2012 01:53 PM

The 200T came with SLS. See the picture below, which is, by coincidence, a 200T from the UK:

Iwas looking at it a couple of weeks ago
 
Needs a battery, windshield, throwout bearing (which makes me wonder about the rest of the clutch work) but otherwise looks okay. I got a few pics from him, not the best but it didn't seem to have too much rust, the hinge pockets were full, couldn't tell if they were rust, ditto the battery area. I don't think it's running right now, night only take a battery and some fresh fuel.
